tiny desk concert
One of the great albums of 2012 comes from Anais Mitchell, Young Man In America. It will be high on my Best Albums of 2012 list. She just played a Tiny Desk Concert. This is an artist who is great at her craft. Enjoy!

Check out the Tiny Desk Concert from First Aid Kit (album, The Lion's Roar). You won't be sorry. When they harmonize = wow. Also, follow along the lyrics to the second song, "The Lion's Roar." It appears to be their response to & reflection on church, religion, Jesus, Christianity.
Joe Henry plays a Tiny Desk Concert. Four songs from this highly respected artist & producer. Check out his newest album, Reverie.
Great four song Tiny Desk Concert from Wilco. Love their album, The Whole Love. You should pick it up if you haven't already.
One of my favorite bands in the world, Beirut, playing a Tiny Desk Concert. You should pick up their excellent new album, The Rip Tide. It's only $6.99.
One of my favorite 2011 albums comes from King Creosote & Jon Hopkins: Diamond Mine. When you have a few minutes watch/listen their Tiny Desk Concert and be transported to another time. Beautiful.
The new album from Low, C'mon, is outstanding. One of my favorites of 2011 so far. I keep going back to it. Here's their Tiny Desk Concert that showcases their talent well...
I saw Damien Jurado in concert a few years back. His band was opening for Okkervil River. The show was compelling, but I really didn't dig into his music right away. I liked his 2009 album, Caught In The Trees. But his latest release, Saint Bartlett, is what made me a fan. Here's his recent Tiny Desk Concert. Hear Ya calls Jurado "wildly underrated." Maybe so. If you are looking for slick, super-polished, and ready to sell--this isn't it. It's a dude, his guitar, and good songwriting. Enjoy!
